About Mr. Thomas

Mr. Thomas is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip and knee replacement, the management of painful and failing hip and knee replacements, and benign musculoskeletal tumours.
His private practice is at the Vale Hospital, Hensol Castle Park, where he offers consultation services, as well as surgery for hip and knee replacement, robotic hip and knee replacement and revision hip and knee replacement and benign musculoskeletal tumour assessment, monitoring and if required, surgical removal. His NHS practice is based at the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend, where he offers hip and knee replacement and revision surgery, as well as adult and paediatric trauma services, now based at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.
​
Robot-arm assisted hip and knee replacements (MAKO, Stryker) are considered by many to be leading-edge technology in hip and knee surgery. Whilst the robot does not replace the surgeon, the pre-operative planning process helps to identify the ideal implant position for you and your joint, and the robot-arm assists in ensuring this implant position is achieved. ​​​​
